BELLEVUE, Wash., March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Icertis, the leading provider of contract lifecycle management in the Cloud, today announced the addition of Michael Keithley, CIO of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a global entertainment and sports agency, to its Advisory Board. Keithley will provide his expert technology and strategic guidance to Icertis as the company expands its leadership position of the Icertis Contract Management (ICM) platform.

"As a longtime business professional in the media industry, I understand and appreciate the business intelligence that can be gleaned from a single contract document," said Michael Keithley. "What Icertis has done to traditional contract management with its cloud-based ICM platform, has created new business efficiencies that stakeholders, like general counsels, CFOs, CPOs and sales leaders, never thought possible. I'm looking forward to being a part of something this revolutionary."

In his current role at CAA, Keithley oversees all aspects of technology and digital media at the agency. He also plays an active role in decision-making across other business units, including business development, corporate consulting, social media, digital media and entertainment marketing. Keithley's 24-year career at CAA has been spent bridging the worlds of technology innovation and Hollywood creative. Outside of CAA, Keithley is heavily involved in the VC community and serves on several non-profit boards. He was recently named one of the "100 Top CIO/CTO Leaders in STEM" by STEMconnector, for his work advancing diversity in the workplace.

"Michael is one of the most forward-leaning and visionary CIOs I have met," said Samir Bodas, Cofounder and CEO of Icertis. "He is a highly recognizable figure in the technology industry, and especially in the Cloud community, in large part due to his role helping CAA grow to the global agency it is today. I am looking forward to his insight and guidance as we take Icertis to the next several levels."
